I usually set my FD 2-4ish mm above the teeth of the outer chain ring. I use an appropriate size allen wrench (3mm) to check the gap. My memory skills could be lacking, but I believe that to be the measurement I got from watching a Park Tool video. Very helpful videos by the way. I was dumbfounded a time or two when I was learnin’ myself about derailleurs. They helped straighten me out.
